Demo for QScript

QScript is a tool that reduces the time consumed by Survey Programming by

approximately 40%.

2

ChallengesSpeed : Survey programming can be a very

time consuming process that delays time to respond to your clients

Manual work : There many manual tasks that lead to an error prone process.

Inconsistency : Standardization is difficult to achieve or apply to multiple client outputs using manual processes.

Solution• QScript speeds up the process of

converting questionnaires directly to MDD files.

– Converting questions in QScript is “a one click process” unlike standard SPSS tools where we need to follow several steps.

– • Almost all the essential processes in

QScript are automated which reduces errors.

– Q-script automates the generation of metadata as well as routing in the MDD.

• QScript can be loaded with standards for multiple clients, thus preserving consistency while doing conversions.

Define List: This is used to create the huge brand list or list which are needed to create separately.

Text Formatting: This feature is a code generator for text highlights like bold, italics, underline, font color etc.

Response Level Properties: Using this feature, we can generate a code for anchoring, making a response mutually exclusive from other responses or adding an “other specify” box next to the response text. We can also add randomization codes for responses as well as attributes just at the click of a button!

Removing special characters: When we get a questionnaire, there are many special characters which are not needed while programming. This feature removes all such characters at one go, thus providing us with a clean questionnaire.
